[单项选择]Age has its privileges in America. And one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age-in some cases as low as 55-is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life.

The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work (36) which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a (37) thought. But, in fact, it could offer the (38) of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.
